For #TuneTuesday #PedalPowerSongs here's Gary Moore who achieved his exceptionally smooth yet biting guitar tone not with a fancy amp but with a Marshall "Guv'nor" guitar pedal 😄
#tunetuesday has a theme of Love Me, love me not; songs that we have loved but can no longer listen to.
We are the champions: Queen
I love this ballad, the true winning that I felt singing this, and bleh, it's been taken by every sports event ever.

Someone that I used to know: Gotye
This song got me through a terrible break up, got me singing again after years of silence... But I'm no longer in this pain and cannot sing words that are no longer true for me
https://youtu.be/8UVNT4wvIGY?si=7LQAwqhlAYc_aX41
Which causes me to then think of many christmas and Christian songs I grew up with that I LOVED singing, but will not sing because they are not true or good for me.
And for the name alone, this next song I can happily listen to: Lovefool: Cardigans https://youtu.be/NI6aOFI7hms?si=3NcrALdLrhPtTxHI

My theme of #BlackMagick got pulled out of the hat for this #TuneTuesday, and while I could - and possibly will - share a number of tracks composed with specific magickal intention, I'm going to start by highlighting the grandfather of occult blues and rock, Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
Perhaps best known as the original composer of blues standard, I Put A Spell On You, Cleveland-born Hawkins was classically trained, with intentions of becoming an opera singer. Set on defying convention, and after a few false starts, he became a blues singer and pianist with a flamboyant stage persona with occult trappings comparable to the sinister camp of his contemporary, actor Vincent Price.
Hawkins' occult theatrics directly inspired artists including Arthur Brown, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, and Glenn Danzig, among others, and we can directly trace significant parts of the tone and imagery of multiple evolutions of black metal back to him, as well as punk, goth, hard rock and broader heavy metal as genres.

Hawkins and his band were reportedly trashed when recording this, inspiring the unearthly laughter, whooping and demonic grunting that can be heard on the track.
It was deemed obscene upon release, for reasons that smack of both racism and conservative sexual mores.
Hawkins at times resented the persona, exploitative trappings and even the hit that made him famous.
Living in New York and then Paris, he continued to compose, perform and act during the 1980s and '90s, despite being well set due to holding the copyright on his own music, spanning a range of genres, including with garage rock band The Fuzztones.

It is the year 2000."
The #TuneTuesday theme this week is #SongsFromTheFuture and nothing says future more than robots and the eradication of humans.

The theme for #TuneTuesday this week is #LondonCalling - songs that name-drop a town or city in the title or lyrics. I did think about choosing "Ffarwel i Aberystwyth", which is fitting given my change in circumstances, but it seems a bit over the top given that I've only moved 7 miles or so. Instead, I've gone for a song about another Welsh town.
